Welcome to KH13’s trailer analysis for the “Together” trailer. From the start this trailer is the most unique one released, as it forgoes the traditional format of Kingdom Hearts III trailers in favor of one more reminiscent of movie trailers, including: a voice over narrator, dramatic cuts, and sound effects specifically to dramatize the events shown. The sound effects from the official game can also be hear in this new trailer, a change from the previous trailer formats as well. Aside from the format change, this trailer mixes in a limited amount of new scenes along with mostly previously seen cutscenes. Very little gameplay was shown.
Now that the uniqueness of the trailer has been stated, let’s dive in.
The trailer starts with the Kingdom Hearts III rating provided by the ESRB: It is rated E10+ for alcohol reference and fantasy violence. The full description they released for their rating can be viewed here, but do be warned: it includes minor spoilers for some as far as what type of violence to expect.
The trailer then opens with the narrator saying, “Our worlds are under attack” while showing several scenes of Sora in the Kingdom of Corona, a group of flying Heartless flying to multiple ships in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, then flaming Heartless, that seem to be Flame Cores from 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A fragmentary passage, destroying the Thebes in the Olympus Coliseum world.
The narrator goes on to say, “Only you can stand against the darkness” while showing a big Heartless previously seen in other worlds, but this time in San Fransokyo Bridge going against Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Baymax.
Then Hades appears ordering the the Titans to show their power but only the Rock Titan. It then shows it throwing down the boulder like the beginning of the Rock Titan demo that has been available at multiple conventions.
The narrator says, “Now the battle between light and dark..” as Riku and Mickey appear in the Realm of Darkness beach, but then suddenly surrounded by Shadows.
To then show Sora (in his KH2 attire), Donald, and Goofy, meeting Maleficent and Pete in Thebes as the narrator says, “to reach its epic conclusion.”
Arendelle is shown. Donald and Goofy is shown fighting Soldier Heartless, then previously shown footage of Elsa defeating the new deer Heartless.
New footage is then shown of Sora, Donald, and Goofy running somewhere in the Caribbean, where Jack Sparrow catches up to them while saying hi to them. Sora exclaims, “Jack Sparrow!” Jack stops running to correct them and to call him Captain Jack Sparrow.
A brief Frozen cutscene is shown again. This time having our trio landing onto Goofy’s shield to do some sledding.
New Tangled cutscenes appear. First showing Flynn Rider being chased by a small group of Heartless.
Rapunzel runs up to Sora ready to fight with her hair wrapped like rope in her arms, declaring that she is not afraid to fight.
Very briefly a limit is shown where Rapunzel and Flynn swinging Sora, Donald, and Goofy in Rapunzel’s hair onto a group of enemies where the three individually cause a decently sized ground pound explosion. Note: there is no command menu present and the trio glow as they are about to land and explode.
The red flaming dinosaur Heartless then appears in front of the Toy Box gang, followed by the Aliens from Toy Story exclaiming, “Oh no” in a typical movie trailer style cut.
Footage of the Black Pearl then Jack Sparrow appear, followed by Hiro from Big Hero 6 appearing with the his group and our heroes exclaiming that, “Together we’re unstoppable!” This is where most likely the title of the trailer came to be.
Sora then is shown fighting against a previously seen Heartless from the bridge in San Fransokyo but this time in the city area.
Monsters Inc. footage is shown having the gang running away from the destruction of the building they are in, followed by Randall, the villain from Monsters Inc. appearing.
More Frozen footage showing Marshmallow getting angry at Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf. Olaf tells the two to run as he will provide the distraction. Note: Olaf’s body is stuck to a snow covered boulder, making Olaf appear as if he cannot move.
Pirate Sora manning the Jack Sparrow’s ship, the Black Pearl in the Caribbean and firing cannons.
Sora summoning Ralph in what seems like Kingdom of Corona.
The narrator begins again saying, “For life... and light... together we fight.” as a rapid number of shots appear. Baymax and Sora flying in the San Fransokyo night, Flynn and Rapunzel with their lanterns along with a shot of all the lanterns in the Kingdom of Corona to the backdrop of that world’s castle, and Sora summoning Ariel in Arrendel.
The Kingdom Hearts III logo appears followed by the scene of the new Organization 13 in the Keyblade Graveyard all together at first but then Master Xehanort is on top of a rising pillar, smiling down onto us, with mysterious music.
Minus the mysterious music, this cutscene was first shown in the previous Winnie the Pooh trailer.
Overall, this was an exciting trailer mostly due to the format change. The movie trailer format this takes is reminiscent of early 2000s trailers. If you have seen any trailers from those years, the formula is rather predictable, but in this case it is exciting. Hearing in-game sound effects was a welcome addition. The way the dialogue was cut was also interesting compared previous trailers. It was brief and felt more as it would in-game.

What are your thoughts on the new format this trailer used? Nomura has stated that more trailers are going to be released in December. Would you like them to use this format or the Don’t Think Twice style? Let us know and also tell us if we missed anything! For future trailer analysis stay tuned!

THIS TRAILER IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT PLAYS WITH MY FEELINGS... UGHHH ?? I'm so excited to get my hands on this game, and I'm sure soooo many of you are as well!!
Let me know what you think about this trailer and some of the things I discussed, did you see something I didn't?

Here I will be discussing a topic that I believe deserves more attention than it's been given. The leveling system in Kingdom Hearts 3 is a huge topic of discussion amongst the Kingdom Hearts Community, yet not many people have decided to jump in and tackle the idea head on. So, I bring to you a complete analysis and concept design for the leveling system, keyblade transformations, forms, and much more!
I put 48+ hours of work into this video so if you enjoyed this video feel free to leave a like to help support my channel and content. Thank you so much for watching

In KH1, we fought the Rock Titan and the Ice Titan, and in BBS, we fought a fake copy of the Ice Titan called Ice Colossus.
I'm really hoping that KH3 follows the story of the Disney movies more and we actually fight all of the villains from each movie in each world. In KH3 trailers, we've seen that the Rock Titan has returned. Do you think the Ice Titan will return as well, and do you think we'll fight all of the other Titans while we're at it? It'd be so amazing to see all of the Titans taking over Olympus and we have to take them down.
It'd be nice to hear the Titans actually talking this time around too. And it'd be neat to have their actual names be in the Journal this time instead of just "Rock Titan" and "Ice Titan".
Having separate boss fights for Lythos, Hydros, Pyros, Stratos, and Cyclops would be absolutely fantastic in my opinion. What do you think? Or do you think that'd maybe be too many boss fights for a single world? In my opinion, there's no such thing as "too many boss fights" lol
Oh, and also, if we take down all of the Titans from the movie in KH3, then in a future KH game after KH3, we can move on and fight the Titans from the Hercules TV show.

I never understood this. Why is Hercules the only Disney world with that distinction? For instance, Vincent Valentine would have been a perfect fit for The Nightmare Before Christmas. Does anybody have any guesses or ideas as to why this is?

Given that there's going to be a lot of new areas in the Olympus world,.it makes me wonder what the world's stotyline will be. For all intents and purposes I can say we've used all of the Hercules plot. I say this, even though it's been sorta weird with the progression of events from movie to game. Anyway, knowing that the area from the new KH3 screen is the "heaven" segment of Olympus, can we expect a post story plotline like Big Hero 6. Nomura's been wanting to do a full Olympus for a while. I think.this.could be.interesting. Or the awkward story progression could continue with.the world replicating the very end of the movie and other segments missed in other games (e.g cyclops).

Now that Ive seen the E3 trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 Im so impressed and blown away with the new footage that was shown like ahhh, oh my god . Remember when I used to say that many KH games world's didn't feel like actual worlds. Square you made my wish come freaking true. The worlds that was seen in the trailer was BEAUTIFULLY REALISTIC AND LOOKED LIKE REAL WORLDS WITH ENVIRONMENT. THERE'S A TANGLED WORLD AND THAT WORLD LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE WORLD FROM THE MOVIE. TWILIGHT TOWN WAS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT AND LOOKED SO FRESH. AND ALSO I THINK THAT WORLD WHERE SORA FIGHTING THE TITAN WAS FROM HERCULES. AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE AWESOME COMBAT STYLE SUMMONS MAD HATTER'S TEA CUP RIDE, PEGASUS RIDE, CAPTAIN HOOK'S SHIP AND BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN. FLOWMOTION IS BACK ALONG WITH THESE TRANSFORMING KEYBLADE GUNS. THE LOOKS OF YOUNG MASTER XEHANORT AND YOUNG MASTER ERAQUS WAS AWESOME.
SORA'S NEW DESIGN LOOKS IMPRESSIVE AND I LIKED IT, IT MAKES HIM LOOK OLDER AND MATURE I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH HIS NEW OUTFIT I WILL SURELY GET USED TO IT IN NO TIME.
AND HERE'S SOME AWESOME SCREENSHOTS IM DYING OF JOY

Sorry if this is already a topic, I've lurked here for years but never bothered to make an account until I saw the new footage at the conference today.
The grassy area Sora is at in the footage is a whole new version of Olympus Colosseum, and it looks gorgeous. Finally looks to be a full fledged world. This is backed up by the pillars seen in the background, as well as the trees with classic Hercules style swirls on them.
Another note, Sora is seen weilding StarSeeker, and what can only be the new Keyblade for Olympus Colosseum. It has pillars near the handle, and the blade seems to be Zeus holding a lightning bolt. It also transforms into a chariot with a Pegasus.
